"oh...also...being born in the late eighties I'd never heard of/listened to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_J._Geils_Band ... but it kind of scares me to think of how many bands/musicians I listen to with a similar story... (please tell me, the beatles aren't REALLY evil? haha...)"

What bands do you listen to with a similar story? What similar story is it to which you refer?
